This Mexican police officer has been suspended by bosses for letting a scantily-dressed woman frisk him while bending him over his patrol car after making a pretend drink-drive arrest.

The pretty brunette touched the laughing patrolman twice between the legs while a female friend filmed the intimate body search.

Last night the officer was demoted and told he faced an internal investigation after the video was posted on YouTube and seen by thousands of people.

The policeman - who worked in the tourist resort of Rosario in Baja California - was identified as Arturo Avalos Perez.

Rosarito mayor Silvano Abarca Macklis initially claimed the officer was only having a bit of fun with some women he identified as his cousins before a wave of criticism forced the authorities to take action.

The woman who performed the mock arrest - dressed in a pair of tight black short and figure-hugging top which exposes her midriff - said: “Very bad. He had a lot to drink” when her friends informed her she had started to film.

And although the patrolman called her “rude” when she yanked his arms behind his back, he seemed to like the body search and shouted out: “Everything, everything, everything” seconds before she grabbed him between his legs.

The policeman was later pictured slumped over the bonnet of his patrol car with his arms straddling the women’s bare thighs and what appeared to be a bottle of alcohol between the legs of one of the unnamed females’.

The local police force recently announced it had bought the Jeep Avalos was using to reinforce security.

Sexy arrest: Investigation set to be launched after angry backlash

The officer, who works for Rosarito’s Tourist Police, was accused by superiors of “inappropriate conduct” while on duty.

He has been suspended without pay pending the completion of an internal investigation but is still working as a policeman.

One of the YouTube videos, seen by thousands of people, was titled: “Shameless womanising Rosarito Policeman” and asked: “If this what we pay our police for?”

Another, showing the same scene, was titled: “Lady ‘arrested’ a Rosario policeman. He was driving whilst drunk.”

The coastal resort city of Rosarito is just 10 miles south of the US border.
